A convenient interface to Entrez allows the user to search GenBank® and retrieve sequences of choice directly into a sequence alignment or a contig assembly project.
BLAST searches can be done through a simple right click on a sequence or on a selected fragment of a sequence. BLAST results are retrieved and stored on the user's computer and can be viewed at any time.
GeneStudio™ Pro has an intuitive, user-friendly interface; most operations are done through drag-and-drop operations or through simple, uncluttered menus. In comparison to available command-line programs, Web-based utilities or programs accessed from a UNIX machine through an X-Windows interface, GeneStudio™ Pro can be mastered in a very short time.
Main changes in version 2.x:
The Alignment and Contig editors will now accommodate sequences longer than 500,000 bases and process them much faster than the previous versions.
Following suggestions from users, we included translation of sequences loaded into the Alignment editor as an aid in aligning sequences manually. Such mixed DNA/protein alignments may be saved in the new GSA format (*.gsa - GeneStudio Alignment).
Quality score of traces from Applied Biosystems DNA sequencers may be displayed as a visual aid to their quality,
Following the release of the new PHYLIP 3.6 package of programs for inferring phylogenies we offer the user the option to choose version 3.5 or 3.6.
Handling of the output of phylogeny programs was modified to give the user a choice to use the soon to be release GSTree (GeneStudio Tree) program instead of the TreeView tree display program.
All dialogs are now compatible with the East Asian versions of Windows.
GeneStudio Pro was compiled to be Unicode compatible.
GeneStudio Pro has a new look and feel of the visual components.
